(1) Βotnim , pistachio tree fruit. Sent as a present to Joseph in Egypt from Jacob in Canaan (Genesis 43:11). As the pistachio did not grow in Egypt, it would be especially acceptable. The tree is from 15 to 30 ft. high, the male and female flowers grow on separate trees. The name of Betonim, a town in Gad, is derived from it (Joshua 13:26). The fruit is the size of an olive, bulging on one side, hollow on the other; red pulp encases a shell, the kernel of which is green, sweet, and oily.
(2) Εgowz; Song of Solomon 6:11, "the garden of nuts." i.e. walnuts.
